in fact, all told there were more than 200 votes on the environment and public health this the house in 2011. in many cases only final passage votes were included even though lawmakers voted on countless amendments with enormous environmental implications. in contrast there are just 11 senate votes in the 2011 scorecard. so how did members do? last year 31 senators and 24 representatives earned a perfect score of 100%. on the other extreme, 13 senators and four house members earned an appalling score of zero. this is actually a smaller number than in recent years, so i think it's a pretty clear indication that those members who voted against the environment at literally every opportunity really worked hard and went out of their way to do so. and the average house score in 2011 was 45% which is lower than the 2010 average score of 57 president. 57%. but i think an even bigger indicator of the huge change in landscape from the 111th to the 112th congress is the dramatic drop in average lifetime scores. more specifically, the average lifetime score of members who were defeated in 2010 w

we need to be very clear-eyed about how we interact in this fast-moving environment in which we find ourselves. and i also firmly believe, as i alluded to in my opening marks, were it not for the work that foreign civil officers and civil servants and locally employed staff do every day, american businesses would not be as profitable and expanding and creating jobs in this recovery as they are. i mean, we have these thousand economic officers, we have many other people who are there, constantly trying to support american business. i just held and hosted a big conference at the state department where we called in american chambers from across the world so that we could be asking them, what are we doing right? what can we do better? we are in an economic competition that has profound consequences, but it is primarily the work of diplomacy. as our businesses are trying to open doors, they come to our embassies. they come to the state department. they say, what do i need to know about this country? what can you do to help me to get to the right person so my bid can be fairly considered?
